Fast food, high calorie foods with low nutritional benefit, ease of transportation, and fewer hours outside for adults and children alike, all contribute to unhealthy amounts of weight.

And understandably, getting to a healthy weight is a struggle for many people.

It can be difficult to know which foods to eat, which to avoid, and with everyone’s schedules becoming more and more hectic, finding time to exercise is also becoming more difficult.

To lose weight, it’s important to find time to exercise daily as well as include these foods in your diet frequently.

And whether you’re looking to lose 100 pounds or just 10, this information will help you!

10 Foods to Consume Frequently if you want to Lose Weight:

1) Salmon

Salmon keeps you full for hours and is quite healthy, making it a great option if you want to lose weight.

It is loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, high quality protein, and nutrients.

Omega-3 fatty acids have shown the ability to reduce inflammation which is known to play a major role in obesity.

Always opt for wild salmon over farm raised.

2) Tuna

Tuna is a low-calorie option but is high in protein. And because it’s a lean fish, there isn’t much fat in it.

In fact, tuna is popular among bodybuilders and fitness models because it is high in protein but low in calories and fat.

3) Vegetables that contain large amounts of water:

– Cucumbers

– Tomatoes

– Spinach

– Celery

– Zucchini

4) Fruits that contain large amounts of water:

– Watermelon

– Strawberries

– Pineapples

– Peaches

– Blueberries

– Grapefruit

5) Beans and legumes

– Black beans

– Lentils

– Kidney beans

Beans and legumes help keep you feeling full. And many kinds provide great sources of fiber and protein.

6) Avocados

Like salmon, avocados are loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, they are high in monounsaturated oleic acid which is the same type of fat in olive oil.

In addition, avocados contain many important nutrients like fiber and potassium.

7) Nuts

Even though they are typically high in fat, nuts aren’t fattening unless you binge eat them frequently. Nuts contain balanced amounts of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

And studies have shown that eating nuts, as a regular part of your diet, can improve metabolic health and even cause weight loss. [1] [2]

Plus, other studies have also shown that, generally, people who eat nuts regularly tend to be healthier than people who don’t. [3]

8) Smoothies

Smoothies make a great meal replacement. You can customize it however you like and cut down on calories while increasing your intake of nutrients and vitamins. And when making smoothies, always try to purchase organic fruits and vegetables.

9) Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has been shown to lower blood glucose levels if taken before eating. To learn more about this, click here.

Be sure to only buy organic, the bottle will say ‘from the Mother’. And when drinking it, dilute one or two tablespoons in 8 oz of water or juice and drink through a straw so it doesn’t damage your tooth enamel.

10) Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are tiny black seeds from the plant, Salvia Hispanica. They are high in fiber and do a great job at keeping you feeling full. Because of all the fiber, these seeds can absorb water in your body and then expand in your stomach.
